Yes, besides living in a rural area with a shitty library that has only books online I read in middle school, I have agorophobia. So making the trek there isn’t that simple.
Even the biggest university library’s online books are not up to date. They take years to get translated, so instead of waiting for that (since I’m not sure whether I’ll even be alive by then) I just read books in their original language as soon as they come out.
And stop making fun of disabled people.
I’m an avid reader. Books from authors I like here tend to take months to years to get translated and into a library. I read everything in English now because of that.
Just one point of view: I’m too poor to even buy food, but pirating books keeps me informed about current affairs and shit. It also enables me to stay alive because I still have access to my favourite authors, which makes me so happy and try to stay alive for one more release date.
Full disclosure: I’ve gone from a very good job to debilitating disability over 10 years in Europe. Also, before this, I bought hardback books of everything I liked. I’ll do this again as soon as I can afford it. I’ll always support authors as much as I can.
No, it’s not okay. My parents didn’t have me to be your f*cking ‘Chef.’ Learn to cook a decent meal for yourself a**hole.
Also Belgium. The only time I had a gun was when I joined the Police for a few years. After that, nope. In my 5 years, I’ve never even had the thought that I should pull out my gun. I’ve served in Brussels and rural areas.
It was just emphasized so much during our 12 months of training to ‘never ever use it unless it’s your last resort, only pull out your gun when you’re ready to pull the trigger’ that it simply didn’t cross my mind. We were more trained with the stick thing, ‘job?’ and judo, hand to hand combat.
Also, as a civilian you have to take an exam to own a firearm. If you have mental health problems or a record of criminal behaviour forget it. Even if you do get a license, you can only use it in a shooting range and specific situations. And never transport your gun and ammo together.
If you have a burglar, even then you’re only allowed to use appropriate force. If he has a knife, you’re not allowed to shoot him.
There is a site with all the RSS feeds from major news outlets. If you download the app Feeder you can add them and have an overall view. Problem is, there are more newspapers that don’t support RSS anymore and it’s a shame.
Thanks for these btw.
Give it to her you monster. She deserves everything and more just by being soo cute :)
Gizmo is going to be soooo spoiled and he deserves every bit of it. And that one black toe on every paw :)
I have a tuxedo too and he has a Hitler moustache and a beard and I actively have to remind myself not to give him everything he wants and usually fail because he’s so cute, funny and even taught my orange boy a few tricks. Enjoy him and give him some love from me.
Isn’t it Russian? I was told long ago so could be wrong?
Thank you! This is amazing, I’m really out of the game lately.
I love how they always MAKE themselves understood if they really want to. But ignore you and stare everywhere else except your eyes when you say ‘bad kitty’.
Soo…no more libgen?
It’s hit and miss most of the time. I just tried Lemmy memes and it redirects to lemmy.ml and the memes community.
Then I tried Lemmy how do I wash my kitten and there was an answer. Again for Lemmy ml. I think it depends on whether there is a post answering the question and if people commented on it.
I use duckduckgo and lately have been adding Lemmy at the beginning (like I did Reddit) and it really works. Search results come back if there is a discussion going on about the topic.
My song is about how my cat’s mother created her in her belly just for me.
Actually it translates into: your mother birthed you especially for me baby, she kneaded your dough especially for me, or something like that.
Slow blinks every time :)
And I thought my cats were evil. This is just a real attempt on your life :)
I think he’s made it a game at this point, getting your attention that way.
I wish. This time, it’s more likely Israel will refuse to listen, genocide occurs, war spills over in the region, sides are taken and voilà: WWIII.
To be honest I am too depressed so let’s hope your assessment will come to pass.
I have the same 2 cats. Yesterday I was bitching about them to my niece. Saying they got so bad, it’s like I’m the pet and they’re the owners.
They really push me around and make me do whatever they want. The tuxedo even follows me around when I’m cleaning and grumbles and shouts when their 3 litter boxes aren’t cleaned 3 times a day. There’s no use getting stricter, it’s 2 against 1 and I don’t have a fluffy belly to trick them.
